- For generations, Indigenous Peoples have known that our health is intertwined with the health of our earth. Their worldview recognizes that being healthy means ensuring the natural resources that give us life are well cared for.

At the country-level, developing countries still do not have enough COVID-19 vaccine to cover the majority of its population.
